I have been wanting to do a carnival shoot ever since I have started my photography journey and finally made it happen! I met up with my senior reps on the opening day of the carnival. We met at noon which is a tough time to shoot, but I wanted to beat the crowds and […]

Taryn is one of my 2020 senior reps. Not only is she at the top of her class at Fortuna High School, she is also super sweet. We traveled down to one of my favorite river locations in Southern Humboldt and shot some beautiful shots in the sunshine. The river is always nice and warm […]

I just spent the last couple of weeks working on my 2020 senior magazine. I have loved going through the images and seeing what I have accomplished this past year, as well as what I am planning for next year.
